The NCAA has an entirely female crew working the national semifinals and championship game at the women's Final Four this weekend.
It's the first time that's ever happened, according to the organization. The NCAA is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Title IX this year, which makes it fitting that there’s all-female crews.
Dee Kantner will be officiating her 26th Final Four while Lisa Jones will be doing her 11th. It’s the first Final Four for Katie Lukanich and Tiara Cruse. “I hope that the student-athletes and fans see these women as an inspiration and the opportunity to contribute to the game through officiating," Davis said.Virginia Tech coach Kenny Brooks is only the third Black male to lead his team to the women's Final Four. He joined good friend Quentin Hillsman, who took Syracuse to the title game in 2016. Winthrop McGriff helped Cheyney make the Final Four in 1984.
